Scraped my Toxxins on the gutter. :(

Just happened the other day and just felt so bad about what happend. It was the front / right wheel lip that scraped the gutter. Although it can't be seen fom affar, the thought of having something like that or even knowing that it happend is just irritating. Now I'm left with three options.

a. Since the Toxxin has a polished lip, I can just have somebody paint it silver and include the other remaining three. Cons: It's the polished lip which makes the wheel look good aside from the spokes.

b. I can try painting my four rims with a gun metal color (Dark Grey). Cons: Would they go well with the color of my car which is Titanium metallic.

c. Buy another one and keep it as a spare tire. Cons: I'm not sure if the dealer would be willing to release just one or it may take a long time.


What do you guys think? I'm open to any other suggestions that you may have.

Um, Im not sure bout in your town. But here there are places that will fix scratches like that on rims. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Look into it. It'll be a lot cheaper than buying a spare rim.
